Free State Jubilee committee in search of talent, volunteers

Planning has begun for the second annual Free State Jubilee set from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. June 18 at the Arbors building at the First Monday Trade Days grounds.

Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service County Agent Melisa Rhodes and her Family and Consumer Science Committee met and discussed the upcoming plans for the event. The FCS Committee decided to continue offering the event as a free, fun day to offer families educational information, activities and contests.

New for this year, the FCS Committee has decided to seek out local talent to perform throughout the day to showcase local performers.

There will be a selection process for those wanting to perform. Anyone interested in performing should contact Rhodes at 903-567-4149 or email her at melisa.rhodes@ag.tamu.edu
